What is another word for phonographs?
Pronunciation: [fˈɒnəɡɹˌafz] (IPA) 
Phonographs are often referred to as record players, turntables, gramophones, or vinyl players. These different names reflect the various forms of technology used in music playback over the years. Record players were the dominant mode of music playback for many decades, and the term "phonograph" is sometimes used as a synonym for this type of device. Turntables are a more modern spin on the classic record player, often used by DJs and audiophiles for improved sound quality. Gramophones were popular in the early 20th century, and used a large horn to amplify sound. Vinyl players are one of the latest iterations of this technology, combining the nostalgic feel of vinyl records with modern convenience.
